WELCOME TO PATAGONIA CHILE
WHERE IS THE LODGE? The lodge is located on 20 acres in front the banks of the Rasmussen River, 150 miles outside of the town of Porvenir, Tierra del Fuego Chile and 10 miles from the Pampa Guanaco aerodrome for charter flights between Punta Arenas and Tierra del Fuego Chile.

Although the mythical Rio Grande is the centerpiece of the fishing program in Tierra del Fuego CHILE, you have the option to ford river tributaries and spring streams to experience the incredible diversity of fishing found here. Little-known streams, lakes and remote lagoons make up this world-class fishing program. With all these water options available, you’ll never have to go to the same place again during a visit, unless you choose to do so.
The trout season in Tierra del Fuego CHILE really takes off after the first week of November and continues until mid-April. April fishing is popular among Chileans while the months of November and December are particularly enjoyed by our international clients. The end of February, March and the first part of April are also enjoyed by our international clients.
Magallanes Fly Fishing Lodge in Tierra del Fuego operates a lodge that offers three cabins with a total of seven rooms and a maximum of 8 guests. Lodging consists of three double rooms, one double and three singles per week. The most common configuration accommodates groups of 6 to 8 guests maximum.
The cozy wooden cabins invite you to relax after a full day of fishing in the south of Tierra del Fuego.
The spacious common areas of the Lodge include a comfortable living room with a cozy fire, a dining room and a bar area. Every day you will be able to savor the traditional food of the extreme south of Chile such as centolla (crab) and fresh products from the sea and the famous “Asado de Cordero” (grilled lamb) plus a wide selection of Chilean wines.
The Lodge is located on 20 hectares in front of the banks of the Rasmussen River south of TDF, 250 km outside the city of Porvenir Tierra del Fuego CHILE and 16 km from the Pampa Guanaco aerodrome for charter flights between the city of Punta Arenas and Tierra del Fuego Chile. And 25 kilometers from the border with Argentina (Radman or Bella Vista).
Guests have several options to get to the Magallanes region. One is to take a very early flight from Santiago Chile to Punta Arenas to arrive before 08:00 AM and continue via ferry. The second option is to arrive a day before with total peace of mind to spend the night in Punta Arenas for the morning. Next, take our van with which you will cross the Strait of Magellan by ferry (departure at 09:00 AM) and being on the ferry for almost two hours, continue on the road for 3 1/2 hours to the Lodge. The last option is a charter flight from Punta Arenas to Pampa Guanaco Tierra del Fuego, a 45-minute flight. The Pampa Guanaco aerodrome is a 15 minute drive from the lodge.
Upon arrival in Punta Arenas, guests will be met by a Magallanes Fly Fishing representative and transferred to the hotel.
